In Mexico, get ready to explore
Not so long ago, a winter vacation south to a Mexican resort involved little else than a beach chair, sunscreen and cut-up limes for the cerveza. The really adventurous might have packed an English-Spanish dictionary.

Sure, maybe a little golf, fishing and trinket shopping, but for the better part of a half-century, winter-weary Canadians flew south to Mexican beach resorts for one reason, and one reason only. The beach.

That started to change in the waning years of the 20th century for a number of reasons, among them baby boomers seeking activities more physically demanding than Marco Polo and table tennis.
